Need Advice? Recent Temple Grad Offers It For Free

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphians are getting some free advice about any problems they may have.

Perched on the intersection of 15th Street and JFK Boulevard in Center City on Wednesday afternoon, recent Temple University graduate Kyle Levonian offered those who passed by an ear to hear their problems and he gave feedback about them.

"I just thought I would set up a camera, set up this table that says 'free advice,' and see if anybody would come up and ask for some advice," Levonian said.

He says most people visiting his stand come asking for relationship advice.

"It's been pretty good. Obviously I get stares from people because I look pretty weird doing this, this isn't something normal," he admitted. It's been successful, I think."

Carlos, a Philadelphia native, says Kyle's stand came at a good time for him.

"I needed to talk to someone," he said. "And I saw that there was free advice, so I went for it. Why not?"

Levonian says he usually makes goof videos to post online -- but he likes helping people and thinks he may keep on doing the free advice videos.
